Industry

It is commercially available in dried, cured and fresh forms. While fresh, the husk is green and the nut inside is so soft that it can easily be cut with an average knife.

This region has fertile soil which is best suited for growing coconut trees and Areca nuts. Farmers also cultivate wheat crop and Eleusine coracana, commonly known as Finger millet (ragi in Kannada). Wheat and Finger millet are annual plants widely grown as a cereal.
